So for me, that's the thing that really sickens my stomach because it's like, my wife who is white... can trace her heritage back as far to, like, the \"old country\" as they call it — Italy and Portugal and Ireland and England. Whereas mine, for the most part, is going to end in the South.

"content": "\u003cp>\"Did you watch the Jodi Arias trial today?\" Mama Bravo has been asking me this on a loop since the case against the woman accused of stabbing her ex boyfriend, Travis Alexander, 29 times, shooting him in the face and slitting his throat (just in case?) went to trial in Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona back in January. \"Why not? Oh it's getting so good...\" I always tell her the same thing: I don't need to actually \u003cem>watch\u003c/em> the trial to do the best of recaps when I have her. Not to mention other, more widely known courtroom experts like Nancy Grace, Jane Velez Mitchell and the rest of the HLN network who live for the mad cap murderess's wacky antics!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mama Bravo is a court-spectator going way back. \"I started on the Menendez Brothers (everyone's favorite parricidal Beverly Hills brats) and remember how much fun we had during OJ?\" I was just a kid at the time but it didn't take me long to figure out what my mother saw in these grotesque spectacles televised on the regrettably late Court TV. We weren't really soap opera people: why would we be, so long as people kept committing crimes and the media kept spoon feeding them to us in place of real news?\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QzTQHxQqI&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"I put Jodi Arias in the top five for sure, maybe even the top three of cases I've watched,\" Mama Bravo explained recently. \"Robert Blake, O.J., Scott Peterson, Casey Anthony, Phil Spector: none of them ever took the stand in their own defense. Not only did Jodi Arias testify on her own behalf; she did it for eighteen days and stuck her foot in her mouth for most of it!\" Eighteen days, according to my mother, of some of the craziest court room happenings since the Manson girls shaved their heads. The nightly highlights went something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They showed more pictures of the crime scene today: that bathroom where she killed him will never be clean. They're just going to have to remodel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She corrected the GRAMMAR of the prosecutor today on cross examination!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think she flipped off a witness! It's all Nancy Grace can do from reaching through the TV and ringing Jodi's neck!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deliberations start Monday, May 6 wrapping up a trial that has had more tongues wagging than the day Phil Spector wore his afro wig to court, or Michael Jackson danced on the SUV outside the courthouse at the start of his molestation trial or when O.J. tried on the glove. For those of you who have missed the media circus surrounding Arias, here are some of the weirdest moments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jodi's Wednesday Addams Demeanor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwnITsGS49k&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"If I was on trial for murder, I'd try and downplay my own creepiness a little,\" Mama Bravo stated when asked about Arias's overall courtroom presentation. \"Jodi sits there at the defense tale looking like Wednesday Addams thinking about beheading her dolls. She gets this look in her eyes sometimes that just...I don't want to think about it. It was probably the last thing the ex boyfriend saw.\" If you think Arias was creepy at the defense table, you should have seen her on the witness stand.

Oh it's getting so good...\" I always tell her the same thing: I don't need to actually \u003cem>watch\u003c/em> the trial to do the best of recaps when I have her. Not to mention other, more widely known courtroom experts like Nancy Grace, Jane Velez Mitchell and the rest of the HLN network who live for the mad cap murderess's wacky antics!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mama Bravo is a court-spectator going way back. \"I started on the Menendez Brothers (everyone's favorite parricidal Beverly Hills brats) and remember how much fun we had during OJ?\" I was just a kid at the time but it didn't take me long to figure out what my mother saw in these grotesque spectacles televised on the regrettably late Court TV. We weren't really soap opera people: why would we be, so long as people kept committing crimes and the media kept spoon feeding them to us in place of real news?\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Q8QzTQHxQqI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Q8QzTQHxQqI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"I put Jodi Arias in the top five for sure, maybe even the top three of cases I've watched,\" Mama Bravo explained recently. \"Robert Blake, O.J., Scott Peterson, Casey Anthony, Phil Spector: none of them ever took the stand in their own defense. Not only did Jodi Arias testify on her own behalf; she did it for eighteen days and stuck her foot in her mouth for most of it!\" Eighteen days, according to my mother, of some of the craziest court room happenings since the Manson girls shaved their heads. The nightly highlights went something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They showed more pictures of the crime scene today: that bathroom where she killed him will never be clean.
